Full operating instructions, cleaning, care and tested recipes included. This pdf is a two pack as it contains both manuals in one file. Dear Mrs. Homemaker: With your new Continental Range, you're sure to find new pleasure and convenience in your meal preparation.

Among the Continental features you’re sure to enjoy are the location of the oven, at eye and arm level; the position of the Control Panel, at the side and out of the heat zone; the Pantry shelf, the retractable platform and the fact that you can select the exact cooking heat you want on the surface units. This booklet has been prepared to tell you in detail about those features and many more that make the Continental such a fine electric range. So, to make sure that you know all about these features, and use them to the very best advantage, please read this book carefully before you use your Continental Range the first time and refer to it often, until you’re entirely familiar with every phase of its operation. Then you'll be sure of perfect results every time. |
